  • PauseTalk Photo Pool

    I forgot to mention it in the post on PauseTalk Vol. 18 (updated now though), but I’ve also created a Flickr photo pool for PauseTalk, so feel free to add your own shots! Pictured above, Shantell Martin busting a move. Update (16/11/13): The photo is longer available.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 18

    Thanks to everyone who made it out this week for PauseTalk Vol. 18. It was a terrific group, and I thank Jason DeGroot for surprising me with his presentation of FEZ, a game he’s been contributing to for a few months now, and Max Hodges for taking photos during the event, something I always forget…

  • Matthew’s EP

    Cody Norenberg, who I met a year or so ago when he came to an edition of a PauseTalk, sends me word of a new album he’s released under his Bernstein monicker. MATTHEW’S EP is being released exclusively through Beatport, but read more about the release here, and also check out the Bernstein MySpace page…

  • Photos from Hitotoki Hitoban

    The folks behind Hitotoki have created a Flickr account that includes plenty of photos from last week’s “Hitotoki Hitoban” event. It was my first time doing a public reading, and as you can see below, I am definitely nearsighted (I always remove my glasses when reading).
